Horses for courses, everyone has an opinion …..for me returning to riding after 43 years…..yes when bikes were utterly insane…..I sadly was almost killed by a drunk driver…..fast forward 43 years, I bought my DCT version in January, for me it’s just perfect, sure it could do this better, or that lighter, or that more or that less, I care not a hoot….it just does it for me in every way….each to their own I say, just let’s all respect the fact we all love bikes……but oh the late 1970’s we’re such fun…..
I really love my 2018 Honda nc750x. I ride everyday to hospital plus doing home visits to various patients in various locations here in Kampala-Uganda. I really have no issues with it.
I plan to get one. As I approach 60 years old I no longer have any desire to go fast or do anything risky. I prefer to take life easy and smoothly, and I don't think there's a better bike for the money for doing just that.
I'm about to change my bike, if God allows me, and this bike calls me a lot, but I'll stick with the manual gear version.
Apparently an easy to use and very practical bike. I commend Honda for offering this option. The engine design reduces the center of gravity and reduces maintenance cost (valve clearance adjustment). I would love to try the DCT. My concern would be learning how to do slow speed maneuvers in parking situations without a clutch. Nice review and demonstration of the use of the controls.
Good review! I have had over 40 bikes through the years. Had an nc750s about 3 years ago, manual clutch. Wish I had kept it. Recently my local dealer had a 21 plate 750x with just 266 miles on the clock come into stock. It came with a centre stand, 2 usb sockets, givi rack and side rails and heated grips. I was disappointed when I saw it was the DCT version but decided to buy it. How wrong I was. The DCT is amazingly good! It’s an option on Honda gold wings and they are selling a lot of them from what I have read. Not had this 750x long but now done over 1000 miles on it. I love the DCT. It’s doing 70 mpg, good handling, plenty quick enough for todays roads in the U.K. I find the brakes to be fine, it’s a big disc rotor on the front. The only thing I don’t like really is the complicated menu features on the clock. Most are just unnecessary. The carrying capacity is just so handy. No top box stuck on the back, unless you need the extra capacity of course. It’s definitely not just a commuter bike, It will do everything you ask of it. A very underrated bike. I think most who say it’s boring haven’t actually ridden one. A quick 20-30 minute ride is no good. You need to put a few hundred on it to realise how good a machine it is. Cheap to run and service. Locknut and screw valves that you can do yourself. My previous bike was £900 for a valve service, I won’t miss that anymore.
The old school LCD screen is probably one of the reasons I would consider it. Simple. Easy. No frills. Exactly what many of us are looking for.
I have always been amazed at Honda R&D being able to extract so little power from a 750 surely there’s another 10 HP lurking in their somewhere. These are a steady selling bike for Honda and I can sort of see why but not for me I think I’d soon become frustrated with its shortcomings. Thanks Matt 👍
Always thought it was a scooter dressed as a motorcycle.
DCT with its handlebar control for “manual gear shifting” is a good all around bike for beginners and older motorcyclists returning to MC riding. Though it is a “ master at none “ except EX OP, it IS a jack of all trades for all around riding from Touring to Urban to MILD off-road “exploring” ADV-Type 2 wheel transportation with useful utility via the “Frunk” plus additional top case & panniers. It is a niche MC that hits the bullseye for it’s intended marketing target. It is also a good - all- arounder bike added to a stable of highly specialized motorcycles.
I'm a senior expat Brit who is living in Central Mexico. I bought the 2020 DCT model from our local agency. This was my first DCT bike and it suprised me with just how easily it was to switch from riding manual gear shift bikes. Its a joy to ride in stop start commuter traffic where you can concentrate on weaving through traffic without having to keep manually changing gears. On open roads you seem to have more time to look at the scenery around you without the need to concentrate on gear changing. The only downside to having DCT I've found is when making slow tight turns there's no clutch to feather so you have to change your technique a little and keep a little power on to the rear wheel and use the back brake to control the forward speed. This takes some getting used to.
Finally a precise explanation of a motorcycle. It's been really useful to me, mate. Greatings from Spain
Really like this bike from all the reviews I've seen. Got an indian scout bobber and one of these would be perfect for winter riding/commuting. Great review thanks.
I love my 2019 DCT model. At 67, I've been riding long enough to appreciate the easy relaxed rides it delivers, but it'll also raise the heartbeat if you want. My other bike is a '78 Guzzi I-convert outfit. I've no problem at all with automatic transmission.
Changed my 2022 NT1100 DCT for this bike. I prefer the NC750DCT as its easier to ride. I have ridden bikes for 50 years. Can't fault it other than as the report says the larger screen is still not high enough. I am going to look into purchasing the larger Givi screen. Great report and well produced.
What a surprise I got when I started watching your review on this NC750X DCT this morning lol, it's the bike I bought.
Love the NT 750X. I had the DCT version for commuting 5 yrs very reliable motorbike. Nicely done video. Cheers
I personally love the DCT. I own the Honda Rebel 1100 DCT and it’s just twist and go! Of course it has tons more power than the 750 DCT, but it’s the same principle. Now I can pay more attention to riding and what’s going on around me and not have to think about friction zones, up and down shifting at the proper time and speed etc, the DCT handles all of that unless I put it in manual. I’m not too thrilled with the lack of horsepower in the NC750X DCT however! Basically, it takes the fun and excitement out of the bike, but for daily rides to work or sightseeing, and for beginner riders I guess it would be just fine! Awesome video, thanks! 👏👍
I have a ‘15 F6B, which is a phenomenal machine, but my riding has changed significantly since I got it. I’m looking at one of these as a ‘24 model. I think it’ll fit my style so much better now.
Well no thrills maybe for you my friend!
